The society was per mitted to meet on their regular dates in their own beautiful build ing. The whole effort' of the DAR was for the winning of the war and the building was used towards that end for the Red Cross. Our motto is for God, Home and Country and preparedness and even aniversal utility service seem necessary now to that end. Mrs. Kathryn Myers Michener, wife of Major Michener and Mrs. Usher Myers were the delegates from the Hobkirk Hill chapter, but at the last moment Mrs. Michener was not able to attend on account of the major's leave of absence. But will will give a report later. The meeting at Mrs. Marvin’s on Friday was highlighted by an ac count of the State Conference in Spartanburg by Mrs. George Mich- olson and the members then enjoy ed the reception at the home of Dr. and Mrs. George Barnes. 'The latter was a member of a Wash ington chapter and is now trans ferring -to the Camden chapter. Names for new members are be ing presented at each meeting and all are interested in the marker to be placed on the Battlefield of Hob- kirk Hill in the near future. **•••• Woman's Auxiliary To Meet Monday The Woman’s Auxiliary of the Camden hospital will meet Monday, April 26, at 4 p. m., in the nurses ho{^.
